Planting Intergenerational Promises  provides opportunities for students and seniors to engage with tulip and daffodil bulbs. The resource helps extend agriculture learning in the classroom and facilitates the exploration of intergenerational relationships; thus deepening the connection between school and community. Planting Intergenerational Promises helps students to develop long lasting relationships with seniors in the community through:

  • Planting (tulip and daffodil bulbs)
  • Performing (poetry, theatre, and music inspired by flowers) 
  • Participating (collaborative flower-theme art projects and conversation)
  • Presenting gifts (blooms or bloom inspired mementos)
